A Great Ending

<p>My husband and son surfed television channels looking for a movie to watch and discovered that their favorite movies were already in progress. As they enjoyed watching the final scenes, the search became a game. They managed to find eight of their favorite flicks. Frustrated, I asked why they wouldn&rsquo;t just choose a movie to watch from the beginning. My husband laughed. &ldquo;Who doesn&rsquo;t love a great ending?&rdquo;</p> <p>I had to admit I too look forward to the endings of my favorite books or movies. I&rsquo;ve even skimmed through my Bible and focused on my favorite parts or the stories that seem more palatable and easier to understand. But the Holy Spirit uses all of God&rsquo;s reliable and life-applicable words to transform us and affirm that His story will end well for believers in Jesus.</p> <p>The Lord declares Himself to be &ldquo;the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End&rdquo; (Revelation 22:13). He proclaims that His people will inherit eternal life (v. 14) and warns those who dare add or subtract from the Word (vv. 18&ndash;19).</p> <p>We may not know or understand everything in Scripture, but we do know Jesus is coming again. He&rsquo;ll keep His word. He&rsquo;ll demolish sin, right every wrong, make all things new, and reign as our loving King forever. Now, that&rsquo;s a great ending that leads to our new beginning!</p>
